Sketch a Day: Discover the Quadruple Helix

24 Feb

Quadruple HelixI am still waiting for this magnificent discovery to be made.

Since Watson & Crick published “The Double Helix” in 1968 it was and still is a controversial work of scientific discovery. Rosalind Franklin’s contributions notwithstanding, I believe there are further models of human genetic code that could make sense.

Barring the actual existence of such a structure, think of the potential of a quadruple helix.  While I am no scientist, I imagine such a structure would allow for distinct genetic redundancies that could prove useful in the coming Waterless Flood.

    Figure skaters have discovered the triple toe loop, the triple axel and the mysterious and controversial “quad”. Maybe they should team up with the molecular biologists!
